Dyeballs
1 species
Ectomycorrhizal earthball-like fungi whose interior is divided into pea-sized spore packets (peridioles) that break down into powdery spores. They grow on poor, sandy or disturbed soils and are widely used as tree-seedling inoculants; molecular work shows at least eleven lineages.
Fruitbody: lumpy, ball- to club-shaped, often with a rudimentary stem base. Interior: peridioles in a dark gel, maturing to cinnamon brown spore dust. Spores: globose, spiny.
